Progression of an SPS Tank 2

Another gorgeous setup! I love the less cluttered look with the bigger colonies! That clam is massive!

Thanks for sharing! I asked Brad, so I'll ask you, dosing & water changes?? What's your maintenance routine?

My maintenance routine is to change about 110 gals of water once every month or so, fill the CA reactor when it's empty, feed the fish daily and use the glass magnet every 3 days. We really don't do much other than to enjoy it daily.

Soooo simple, great to know successful tanks don't need to be complicated! Easy to enjoy something so beautiful!

I made a comment about that last week. It's really simple to not mess around too much, do some water changes and just enjoy.

Haha, yeah, that was your LITFA comment.... Sounds like a good name for your next tank journal

For myself, and many of the rest of us, that is still an illusive dream...

I saw that comment, but the proof is in the pics! Mine isn't complicated...I don't think, it's just finding the time and putting in the effort. 2014 isn't going to be much different from 2013, so it's just about the effort. I bought a pump to push water up from the basement for water changes, once they are more consistent, I'm sure my tank will start growing.

I would have to say, the one real secret to this hobby is easy water changes. Mine take about 10 minutes and I drink coffee while it changes. If I had to pack buckets around, I'm sure it wouldn't get done.
